Mughal Lohar

Hi, I see that you were involved in the mess that was socking by Mughal Lohar (talk · contribs) around 12 months ago. Nev1 (talk · contribs) did a lot of protecting and blocking but is presently not active.

I am hitting problems in tidying Aurangzeb but while trying to do so I looked at Siege of Orchha. The latter was created by Mughal Lohar on 31 October 2011 and is at the point an unattributed copy/paste of the section at Aurangzeb on 30 October]. Little of substantive merit has happened to the Siege article since.

Now, I know that there is a way to retrospectively attribute such actions (a null edit?) but the problem goes deeper because the sources used in both articles do not in fact even remotely substantiate the statements made. The source does not even consider events before the 1850s, which is long after the siege. Furthermore, although I have so far not been able to prove it, I am convinced that the content is in fact a copy/paste from another source: the style is too polished for ML to do and also too polished by the standards that have existed generally at the Aurangzeb article for many years (numerous comments regarding poor English etc at Talk:Aurangzeb, plus my own delving through the history).

So, do you have any thoughts regarding what we do now? I simply do not have the time at present to fix both articles: the Siege one would have to be completely rewritten and sourced, but the Aurangzeb one is the more important of the two in terms of visitors etc and it is my intention to concentrate on that for now. - Sitush (talk) 16:49, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Could I just redirect the Siege article to Aurangzeb for now? It is not ideal and it still would leave the unattributed stuff in the history. - Sitush (talk) 16:56, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

I think so. The chief problem with the Orchha article is that the source is an English translation of a primary source that was apparently whetted by Aurangzeb himself. --regentspark (comment) 19:00, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Well, yes, there is that problem also. But since the source doesn't appear to cover the period, I have no idea what was intended. There doesn't appear to be another volume, per Worldcat etc. Frankly, the cites given seem to be fake refs, although I know that the original was practically a ghost-written autobiography of Aurangzeb, I'll mull over it for a few hours: in my ideal world, the article would be deleted pending a recreation but that is not likely to happen. Thanks for jumping in. - Sitush (talk) 19:56, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Redirected. - Sitush (talk) 12:17, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

You beat me to it at Maloji Bhosale‎. Good stuff, although the Gyan book needs to go. The one that you cite - Land, ... etc - is another, like Tyagi's, that is absolutely notorious for taking stuff from WP. Sitush (talk) 04:13, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, Syed --Hoodedemperor (talk) 19:31, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

Please add correct info in charminar wikipedia citiation No.11

Please add correct information in the begining of the article in the citiation No.11, which you have changed recently. Please show me where is it mentioned in your citiation reference that there was a small hindu shrine and a holy stone located at the base of the Charminar and the words which says (some local hindu organization says it is old as charminar ) why are you creating problem by adding wrong information about the Charminar which leads to communal voilance. and also please note this is the second time you have change the citiation reference but your article is almost still same. As being a admin of wikipedia its not good to add wrong information. please don't take this Personally.

Notice of Dispute resolution discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute in which you may have been involved. Content disputes can hold up article development, therefore we are requesting your participation to help find a resolution. The thread is "Charminar wikipedia". Please take a moment to review the simple guide and join the discussion. Thank you!

Guide for participants If you wish to open a DR/N filing, click the "Request dispute resolution" button below this guide or go to Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/request for an easy to follow, step by step request form. What this noticeboard is: It is an early step to resolve content disputes after talk page discussions have stalled. If it's something we can't help you with, or is too complex to resolve here, our volunteers will point you in the right direction. What this noticeboard is not: It is not a place to deal with the behavior of other editors. We deal with disputes about article content, not disputes about user conduct. It is not a place to discuss disputes that are already under discussion at other dispute resolution forums. It is not a substitute for the talk pages: the dispute must have been discussed extensively on a talk page (not just through edit summaries) before resorting to DRN. It is not a court with judges or arbitrators that issue binding decisions: we focus on resolving disputes through consensus, compromise, and explanation of policy. Things to remember: Discussions should be civil, calm, concise, neutral, and objective. Comment only about the article's content, not the other editors. Participants who go off-topic or become uncivil may be asked to leave the discussion. Let the other editors know about the discussion by posting {{subst:drn-notice}} on their user talk page. Sign and date your posts with four tildes "~~~~". If you ever need any help, ask one of our volunteers, who will help you as best as they can. You may also wish to read through the FAQ page located here and on the DR/N talkpage.

Firstly you have added 1 line below the wikipedia page of charminar then later you made a paragraph of the article and after you add picture. Please remove the article from the charminar wikipedia page actually this article should be added to Bhagyalakshmi temple page.

I just found your great discovery that wikiuser81 is a sockpuppet of Vickle1777 based on the fact that wikiuser81 is making the same edits as Vickle1777. Brother, why don't you listen to your heart that truth needs to be told un-adulterated. Well, I admit wikiuser81 is not a suckpuppet of the Vickle1777. But it is the very Avatar of me, as was Vickle1777. But you Indian administrators don't want to indulge into sane wikipedia and mis-using your powers have blocked my Avatar Vickle1777 indefinitely. To be frank enough, even Red_Rose4u is also my Avatar. I am not your enemy as long as you don't think i am. But following your other actions, I emphasize, you have also blocked someone JackSinghSully and Bikramjit (i don't remember their ids exactly) by calling them sockpuppets of Vickle1777. Let me tell you, by supporting the Vickle1777's argument they don't become Vickle1777's suckpuppets and it is unfair to block them. My Indian brother, everyone loves their respective nations more or less but they do love it. Because Nations are very life and breath of its nationals. You Indians have lived slavery(internal and external) for 1000 years and it was the Sikh Nation, the Khalsa, which came to your rescue. A lot of you people joined the Khalsa and cut their internal fetters as well. But yes, when external fetters were cut, everyone of you rejoiced but at the same time went back to your ancient culture of destruction. And this time, after assuming power, you started destroying your very own saviors. But, let me very emphatic here, if the Khalsa is the complete Satguru (as in the words of Great Guru Gobind Singh, the 10th King of the Sikhs), then the Khalsa is Sovereign as well. But unfortunately for you people, the Khalsa is also the republic of the Sikhs. And you tried to annihiliate my republic my nation my Guru. But its ok, wikipedia in order to survive in India needs to take the perspective of you(Indians) rather than of the historical proofs. So, don't worry, you understand everything and yet don't want to speak out the truth. Because if you were so truthful, why did you change the Nationality to Citizenship on Bhai Balwant Singh's page. And if they are different (as you have proven it by commiting the change) and which by any means Nationality and Citizenship are different aspects of life and politics, why did you not block another Indian (Neelkamal) from causing vandalism on that page by entering editwars and making it a point, under the aegis of your authority, to prove Bhai Balwant Singh an Indian national? Bhai Balwant Singh is the national of the Khalsa or simple terms Sikh National. As word Sikh reperesents both nationality and religion. And which you probably with all your fictitous and superficial knowledge will never understand that how Gurus made them inseperable. Take care my brother, i will create more Avatars and more and more as long you try to suppress the truth and keep blocking discriminately and keep pouring in your Indian persecptive into the Sikh pages.

Since then, this confusion has still reigned, with the result that now, before I fix it, there are four articles on the the city in Shimoga district, and none on the village in Yadgir district.
